Don't know where you plan on growing them, but if in the deep south, you're a bit late. Mine are now 4 ft. tall and loaded with tomatoes and usually by mid June/early July they are done and I pull them out the garden.

The heat and humidity of summer kicks them hard and then there's issues with mold and diseases in the summer months.

My wife is waiting impatiently to plant her tomato plants which are in the garage under grow lights. But the temperatures are still getting down to the low 40's. Some are over a foot tall now. When she does plant them she will water them with Miracle Grow for veggies.

I used to do the same until a friend suggested parks improved whopper tomatoes.

They handle heat and disease better than any tomato I've ever grown and put out loads of tomatoes.

They will slow down in July and I will replace them with a second set I start around end of May.

I've had tomatoes all the way to November last 2 years doing this.
